Create a visual guide to your company structure

Organizational charts are essentially a diagram of your company or organization’s hierarchical structure. They are informational tools that can be as simple as text boxes containing names or positions connected with lines to show relationships or some organizations take it a step further by adding photos of their members or images to portray different departments.

With Canva, you can design your own professional-quality org chart for free without the need to hire a graphic designer. It’s simply a matter of choosing from the ready-made templates and layouts created by our design team then customizing the template to perfection with Canva’s suite of powerful yet easy to use design tools.

Create an organization chart in Canva with these easy steps:

Create a new Canva account to get started with your own Organizational Chart design.

Choose a template and click on the text boxes to start customizing your chart.

Customize details like colors and fonts.

Choose from our stunning range of graph elements, like frames, shapes and lines.

Save and share.

Add images or icons to your design

A great way to make your organizational chart more personal is to add photos of your employees or members in the chart. With Canva, you can upload any number of images for free. It’s as simple as dragging and dropping the image files from your computer into Canva. Once uploaded, the images will be stored in your account and can be used and re-used as much as you need. You can also use icons or illustrations to signify various departments or teams. Just go to the elements tab and click on “Icons” to search Canva’s amazing media library. If there are any restructuring or changes in personnel, your organization chart design can easily be updated to display these changes.

Customize colors to reflect your brand identity

Editing and choosing colors in Canva is as easy as a few clicks. Just click on the color selection tool to choose any hue from the spectrum. Change colors of boxes or connecting lines to color code departments or follow your branding guidelines and use your own brand palette by typing in a specific color hex code.

Collaborate with different teams or departments

Working on an organization chart for a big conglomerate or a group with members scattered across the globe can be challenging by yourself so why not tap the teams to help you out? Being an online platform, it’s easy to collaborate with teams in Canva. Just click on share, tick the box that would allow others to edit your design and send them the link. They’ll be able to access and add their own edits to the design from anywhere in the globe, on any computer, iPhone, iPad or Android device.

Print your Org Chart in High Resolution

Once you’re all done editing and gathering input, you can download your finished design as a high-res PNG or PDF file and have it printed in stunning resolution to be posted where you need it. Or, you can email it directly to your team by clicking the share button. Just copy and paste from your address book and send it directly from Canva.
